With a 17 inch laptop is there room to manipulate a mouse?

No, we have a 15 inch laptop and there is no place for a mouse, but with a wireless mouse this has not been a problem finding a spot for the mouse

Not comfortably. I have a 17 inch laptop and we tend to keep the mouse by the side

There won't be enough room. I have a 13 inch laptop and keep the mouse next to me on a mouse pad.

Yes, you will have plenty of room for a mouse. I am using a 17 inch Dell laptop on mine and I still have room for a mouse. You will not have a problem with a 15 inch laptop.

Not really, the mouse can fit there, but there is not enough room to actually move it around.

No, it's really not. I have a 15" MacBook Pro and there isn't room for a mouse. Even with a 13" laptop I doubt there would be room.

No, but it would depend on what you put in the compartment as that could change things drastically. I think my original review might have mentioned it was to small to use a mouse with a 15 inch screen laptop so I wouldn't be using it. But it's great to use with a tablet.

I have an Acer 17.3" that overhangs about 1.5" on the left and right elevated ends. The desk still has room for the mouse on the right-side flat surface. Seems to work just fine while laying in bed.

There is room for a mouse depending upon the size of the keyboard. I use a slightly smaller than normal keyboard and there is room enough for a mouse. I also use a trackball and there is even less issue. Plus there is enough room at the front for your cup of coffee. =^) ... If you have concerns about room for a mouse you can order a clip-on mouse pad that swings outward. They are inexpensive. As for me I am quite happy with my standup desk thingamajig.

There is room for the laptop but not enough room for a mouse with mouse pad

Yes, it is wide enough for a laptop + mouse. I am sure you'll enjoy it and find many other uses for it, believe me.

Yes. I actually have a 17" Asus gaming laptop that is 12" deep front to back and 18" across. It fits just fine and I still have plenty of room on the side for a mouse. Don't get me wrong, it completely covers the table from the front lip to the back. Wiht a standard size laptop, you will have no worries at all!

No there is not room in the slide out tray for a mouse. Even if it had room, it would be very awkward as there is a dropdown for the keyboard. In the front it is raised with slots for ink pen,pencil,paper clips, etc. I have used a mouse on the top as there is plenty for room on the top even with the monitor sitting up there. I even have my speakers on each rear corner with double stick velcro. I absolutely love this unit!!

Hello there! I am thinking my laptop is about the same size? I Have a larger sized Dell with a 17 inch monitor for graphic design purposes. I believe you should have room for a trackball. I have about a one to one and a half inch clearance on each side of the lap desk, with my laptop on it, if you had a mouse i don't think it would work because I have a wireless mouse that I have to use like on the chair arm, or a book, something that is near. But a trackball you may not have any problems I wouldn't think?

The desk top is 21" wide X 15" deep, si it depends on the size of your laptop and the mouse pad. A roller ball mouse would work well.

The platform is sort of kidney shaped so at its widest it's about 21 inches. In the back it's about 15 inches. I have a 15" laptop and a docking station, which leaves me just enough room for a mouse. My guess is a 17" would fit but part of it might hang over the edge and there would definitely be no additional room for a mouse.

I use a mouse, not a mouse pad. It seems the computer would be heavier sitting that far to the left and be off balance. It is wide enough, but comfortably so? I don't want to guarantee it.

Honestly, with a 17" laptop you are not going to have room for a mouse at all on this table. If there is any room, it might be an inch or two at most.

So do I! I do have to move my laptop over to the left a bit, about 2-3 inches. Then I have all the room I need for my mouse. And you don't need a mousepad with today's mice. Just use the right side of the table.
